A Rose for Me

At last night's Women for Winesense dinner in Jersey City, I was seduced by a Rose. When my colleague e-mailed me to review the wine list, she wrote, Vinum Cellars Rose, its Okay. I told her, "just go with what you like". Uh, no. The wine is really called Its Okay.

Vinum Cellas Its Okay Rose 2005 from Napa (what?) is Cabernet Sauvignon. The color was a beautiful pale strawberry. It was creamy with a nice finish with notes of plums and mixed berries. It was a shadow of a great French rose. It paired so well with my Mahi Mahi in a chipotle cream sauce. Heaven!

Even better, a portion of the profits of this wine are donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Found it for $10.79 on wine.com.
